WoW is by no means the best MMORPG out there. Just has the most subs.

But really it doesn't make sense, it's got 10 mill subs, millions more than any other game, and it's ranked at some 20th or so?

 

Cause its a commercial game. Britney Spears surely has more fallowers, but is her music really better then that of "The Doors" or I dunno "Metallica"?

Bad example though because they both sells more then Britney world wide :P

I prefer to compare WoW to junk food such as McDonald, vs another game that makes you use your brain called "whatever fine cuisine restaurant". They are both popular for the same reasons: They are accessible. (One for the price, the other for the incredibly dumb down gameplay)

Now if you would log on a gastronomy website, it's pretty obvious that McDonald wouldn't be in the top 1000 best restaurant in the world for obvious reasons. Like it or not, people on MMORPG.com has more gaming culture then your average WoW numb nuts.

Pretty simple now to understand why WoW as 10 millions subscriber. It must be the same percentile of people eating McDo 3 times a week or more.

Yeah: Most people are cancelling their account to the mini-game called Age of Conan.

Its someone, shit i can make better looking CD's on my computer than alot of people, you dont need a huge name like SoE behind your game for it to go well, in fact judging soe's track record i think this is a smart move,

Shit, I can also build myself an ice shanty and call myself a global fisherman, I import and export mackerel but in reality I sit in my damn ice shanty twiddling my thumbs.
Without a named publisher that has been in the gaming industry they are taking a huge risk. When the game releases in a poor ass state it will be even worst and well in the end then the publisher didn't even matter. If they have a good product and a bad publisher that's like throwing your money down a shit hole that already has too much shit in it.

They is selfpublishing in Europe, didnt you know that? And on a smooth well polished release with all features in like Tasos told us some months ago it will be jackpot for Aventurine. The money will come pouring in. =)
I heard its rumours about Ubisoft or Codemasters as publishers in North America, big enough for you? =)

Nope, nope, nope it's not. Tasos would also give you a burger tell you it was a whopper and when you bit in it, it was filled with shit. He'd also lay a deuce in your urinal because he is such a douchebag. No money is rolling into Aventurine, the small as crew that actually believes this shit is going to shine a big frickin light in the sky and solve the riddle of life, oh and point out where the fountain of youth is while jacking you off smoothly, is a very small number.

It's ok though Aragon, Tasos still loves you and always will. He thinks of you when he plays his ipod filled with Katy Perry and hums to his favorite song "I kissed a girl".

lol... I gotta say it's the most polite and respectful way i could adress to anyone still believing in that uber piece of worthless vaporware trash called Darkfall.

Thank you for finding the words, but most importantly: For having the guts to write them out loud in a forum where you get banned for saying "poop".

There, i said it. Which means i probably won't be able to post under this account for a few weeks

Exellent point Pappy.

As an independant developper myself who has worked for the big guys in this industry for the past 15 years, i can tell you right now that i'm not trying to hit that moving target anymore: I just produce the ideas i truly believe into, and hopefully it will inspire the players to play it.

Trying to hit the moving target like you say, is basically like a dog running after it's tails. When christopher colombus decided that earth wasn't flat, he had a vision and never gave up until he realized it. I do the same with my games, because i want to be a leading force, not a dog running after my tail.

Besides: If you wait for the gaming community to tell you where to go, you will live eternally on a flat world...

Bunny hopping is plain stupid, no matter if it's a FPS or a MMO.

Bottom line is: You need collision detection and stamina lost for jumping like a retard. Those 2 things are enough to regulate the stupidity of bunny hopping.

Hey Wiccan, I play Strydar on Wiccana and I'd love to group at any time though right now I'm only level 10 - I've already spent like 2 hours roleplaying instead over you know, doing the levelling thing hehe

Hi DeaconX

 

I am playing my PoM (RedSilk) or Demonologist (Aphasia - I couldn't think of a name so it seemed to fit)  Both are out of Tortage, but I have other <20th level characters I have been meaning to level out of there as well.

I will be on later after my Jet's BBQ Chicken Pizza works its way toward my kitchen and I eat more than I can use in tomorrow's 10-mile, last long run before the half marathon, push myself to the limit - calorie burn.

I will only group with you if the picture you display on MMORPG.com is actually YOU! Mine is the real deal too...

Wait... They haven't release on the Xbox 360 yet... Bummer

Agree...now a game like wow has loads of replayabilty , no wonder ppl still play after 3 years every day...

Don't mix up "replayability" with "bad junkie habit"...

Both.

Different studies proves that if you hang around dumb people, you have a "bigger chance" to become dumb as well. And since WoW attract a dumb and immature crowd, it's the kind of exposure that can really affect your perception of the world in a very negative way if you stick there for too long.

I had my fill of absurdity after 6 months. In fact, after 3 but i stayed because i had a good guild and to see those battlegrounds released.

I am still recovering from playing this dumb game. The good part is that now, i'll see the WoW syndroms in any game really quick, and leave in a day instead of wasting my life on it several months.

I would say that it depends of your level of exposure. Just like eating junk food moderately won't affect your health, playing WoW moderately won't affect your brain.

However, what's the percentage of people playing WoW moderately? I have seen the result on people near me playing WoW 40 hours+ a week for 3 years, and i can definitely say that if they haven't lost a few I.Q. points, their conception of gaming has become rather dumb. Too much exposition to such game mechanics and reward system can screw up your mind big time. More so if you're young, with no gaming culture and think WoW is the best thing ever because you haven't got engrossed into anything else in your life yet. Keep in mind that for a lot of young folks, this will be their "first contact" with the exterior world... (In terms of massive socialization)

WoW has the same impact on your brain then watching too much crap TV, reading crap books, listening crap music, eating crap foods... You get the picture. One can have a chip and a soda once and a while, but if your whole diet revolves around that for too long, you can't expect great results at the end.

Survey says: WoW is dumb, and makes people dumb. So play it moderately, or find yourself a game that will make you "think" a bit more so you don't end up loosing I.Q. points on the long run.

Thank you for this very insightful review. Even if i'm more a War Hammer type, i'm really glad that Conan seems to be a solid MMO. There really are not to many of those on the market right now...

/bravo funcom. Let's hope it's still great once you hit the middle/end game.

I will remember your name when it's time to get a mature review!

No joke. I remember hearing about Darkfall when I was heavily hooked into Asherons Call back in the summer of 2001. I found the Darkfall website and admit that it did look pretty interesting. I know for a fact that Darkfall was in development back in 2001 and had a FAQ on their website that the release date was "Fall 2003".

What I want to know with this question and thread is why are so many Darkfall fanbois claiming that Darkfall has been in development less then 5 years?? It was originally supposed to RELEASE in the fall of '03... that's not when the development started on Darkfall.

Like I said I KNOW for a fact that the Darkfall site said a planned release date of "fall 2003" back in 2001 and I am pretty sure that they claimed that the development for Darkfall starting sometime in 1999.

..If that's the case, then it's safe to say that this BS vaporware crap has been around for NINE PHUCKING YEARS!

Maybe the 1999 was when they came up with the idea, when the game was "conceived" or something, but this game has been in development for a minimum of 7 years.

Seven years.(or possibly as many as NINE)...Good Grief.

Still no beta, or promised release date. Still no real promising videos or information on the website. Just the same old BS that's been around for years and years and years with the fanbois claiming every damn year that "THIS" is the year of it's release.

This game is total BS. The sooner you fanbois let go of it, the sooner you can get on with your real lives. Just imagine if you had all those years of waiting on Darkfall to release back. Just imagine if you had put some HOPE into something actually real.

Why dont you read up on the game before making retarded posts like this one? Razorwax- 4 guys working in a basement in Oslo were the ones that wanted a beta and release 2003. Razorwax merged with Aventurine late 2002 and game were restarted from scratch midsummer 2003. So midsummer 2008 DF of today will be 5 years old. Theres shitloads of Dev statements where they state Dev time starting summer 2003, guess it was to hard for you to find yourself? But then again youre here to troll so why should you make some digging on your own?

 Game of today have very little to do with game under development before midsummer 2003.

2001 was start date for Razorwax development. 1999 is something you made up to make game look worse.

So 5 year is development time of game of today. Youre very poorly informed about the game and i suggest you read up on the game before making any more stupid threads like this one.

Official release date is 2008. This can be read in last Dev Journal, you didnt read that one, did you?

Game is just superb, it will be the best game ever, a revolution among MMORPG games. Way, way better then the shitgames were offered today, like AoC, WoW and other carebear games. And the sooner you stop posting your BS on this board the less time you take from me responding to your utterly BS.

 

 

It's difficult to even try and respond to someone like you.

Each time I read one of your responses, I wonder why anyone bothers. It's like trying to reason with a small child.

Game is just SUPERB. (Quoted from above)

Hello? Hello? Anyone home?

You have NEVER played this game!

Let me repeat, although I am truly wasting my time.

You have NEVER played this game!

How the heck do you know it's SUPERB???

Your posts and attitude are extremely juvenile.

 

LOL. You get a history lesson about Darkfall and the companies and realize you were wrong in about just all you wrote on your opening reply of thread.=)

Realizing this failure you jump on my not 100% flawless english cause im a swede. Game will be superb if it delivers was the underlying meaning. You knew that but had to jump on it since nothing else i wrote is the slightest argueable.

If you lack even the basic knowledge about DF why make a thread like this? Didnt you realize you were gonna be owned? Just amazing.

"The game of today has been in development for 5 years.  This is totally normal blah blah blah.  The Darkfall of 1999 has nothing at all to do with the Darkfall of today blah blah blah.  It's a completely different game, I swear!"

 

You see kids, this kind of dribble is very common among the DF fans.  All they have to defend their 'game' is wild extrapolated theories that amount to nothing more than speculation.  Aragon100 is such a tool that he takes it one step further:  he splits hairs.  Nevermind that the game of 1999 shares the same name, the same theme, the same promises, the same features, the same developers . . . hell the same everything as his 'totally different game of 2003'.  Nevermind that, year after year, the DF devs give us the same song and dance about imminent beta and release.  None of those facts mean anything of course, it's not the same game! 

And nevermind that every statement made by Aragon100 regarding this game has been soundly beaten by folk with a much better grasp of reality than himself.  Nevermind that time and again Aragon100 has secured himself a place in the annals of MMO Douchebaggery with his half-baked arguments that invariably result in ridicule and pity from the rest of the MMO community.  The fact that he seems to be the only one who thinks his arguments are sound make it all the more amusing.

Darkfall is vaporware.  This is obvious.  Were this game to ever see release, it would likely be a shit-ton of fun.  This too is obvious (but moot).  Aragon100 riding the short bus while the rest of us laugh and shake our heads is also obvious. 

Yes Aragon100, i've crawled out from under the woodwork to verbally spank you once again in front of all these other nice MMOers.  I look forward to laughing at your ridiculously pathetic reply, right along with everyone else.

 

Totally owned...

You really need to be in complete denial, or completely delusional to not see that this pile of rubbish we call Darkfall is anything else but vaporware...

I just can't believe that there's still people to discuss it. Pretty much like discussing with people denying the holocaust actually happened.

I don't know if i should get angry, discouraged... Or simply pity those people. They are digging a hole of absurdity deeper with each passing replies. I never thought it was possible to dig that low in the area of fanboiness. Theres not even dirt to dig anymore... So they now use their shovel to shuffle clouds and get histerical at it. This is beyond sad...

I really wish MMORPG.com would pull the plug on that waste of space and junk yard that is the Darkfall forum. This is a total joke.

10.7 million people are not wrong, it just isn't the game for me.  I found it far too simplistic for MY tastes and I found that too many other games trying to 'emulate' the WoW formula has compressed what was already a weak MMO pool with the same 'simplistic' game play.

If that labels me as a hater of WoW, then so label me.

I second that

If you want my advice for shadowbane: Get pissed and quit now to move on with your life. I can think of just about a million things to do rather then playing this horrible griefing game...

Talk about removing any sense of Meritocracy... It just proves once again, that you can be a complete incompetent sucker, and still be promoted for it if you lick the proper butt.

And i bet there aren't that many people with still a dignity left who would go as low as licking SOE arse.

Big blah...
